I’ve had someone say the same thing. The guy working there seriously needs a new job this is the third fish he has steered me wrong with. Lol well this fish is with my Oscar in a 75 gallon together (just them two) and they don’t have any issue with each other at all. So I’m assuming they are okay? Lol

"The latter" means the second name I gave you, which was a form of Red Texas. These are another hybrid, like the Flowerhorns, except it is primarily based off a Herichthys x Amphilophus labiatus/citrinellus cross. The red doesn't always develop, but the resulting fish can still be somewhat colorful. However, the markings and head shape make me wonder if it isn't just an odd hybrid of something else altogether.

This is a young fish, and it is very difficult to predict what any of these hybrids will turn into.
